The probability of nursing home use over a lifetime in Australia

This article further develops the life table models used in the USA by taking advantage of the superior data available in Australia. The probabilities of nursing home use over a lifetime are estimated for various ages for men and women. The results show that over one-third of the members of a female birth cohort will eventually enter nursing homes for long-term care at least once. The corresponding probability for males is one in five. A woman at age 65 faces a probability as high as 39% of using a nursing home for permanent care before her death compared with 25% for a man at age 65.
The dynamics of caregiving: transitions during a three-year prospective study
- Authors:
- SELTZER Marsha Mailick, LI Lydia Wailing
- Journal article citation:
- Gerontologist, 40(2), April 2000, pp.165-178.
- Publisher:
- Oxford University Press
This prospective study examined 3 types of caregiving transitions experienced by wives and daughters of older people: entry, institutionalisation, and bereavement. Daughters were more likely to enter the caregiving role than wives, but the impact of entering the role was more pronounced for wives. The results underscore the highly dynamic nature of the caregiving career and the importance of the kinship relationship between caregiver and care recipient in conditioning the effects of caregiving transitions.
